Der Bote was one of the first newspapers whose publication Adolf Hitler banned for four weeks in 1933. Franz Schrönghamer-Heimdal was editor -in- chief of the paper from 1933 to 1941 . As early as 1900, Schröghammer adopted the stage name "Heimdal". From 1912 he was only active as a freelance writer. He wrote numerous popular poems and narratives that focused on the people of the Bavarian Forest . During the First World War he came out with "war essays " and anti-Semitic writings, which were withheld in later appraisals.
